There are mentions on the web of an octopus climbing out of a tank,
traveling across a dry surface, going into another tank, grabbing a
fish for a meal, and then returning to their home tank. Some web-
comments say there is a video that was on TV. But I haven't found
anything like it on the web. Is...

Anyone have a proven answer to get rid of these pests? Does injecting work?
If so, where do you get the needle? Will peppermint shrimps work? Help?
I've bought them at the drug store pharmacy counter before.

I am contemplating a new purchase.
My LFS is offering to sell me a complete 150 Gallon tank (All Glass
brand) with finished cabinet and top (with the lights installed in the
top).
The price includes everything except the fish (wet/dry filter, UV
sterilizer, skimmer, everything).
The setup is...

I'm setting up a new tank (55 gal hex) and I have not had a tank setup
for 10-12 years. As there are lots of new products on the market maybe
some of you could help me with some questions
1.While at a local aquarium store buying some goods the sales person
told me to use live rock and not use...

Ok Guys and Gals,
here's what happened.. .my lionfish ate a damsel last night that was too
big for him. Now he cannot regurgitate it or finish digesting it and he
is choking to death. What can I do for him? Please.. i'll try
anything. I've already tried to pull the fish out and it doesn't...

Looking for a protein skimmer for a 55 gal hexagon, prefer the type I
can hang on the tank but may concider others as I will most likley
move to a larger tank (100-150gal) next year or two.
Any e-tailers you would recomend?

Hi;
I read about putting some kind of pad under a tank to even out the pressures
from the stand and tank bottom but no one gives the material.
What sort of material? Styrofoam?
Will carpet pad do?
How thick?
Should I put the LR on egg crate to disritbute the weight evenly? Will

What would be a minimal FO setup for a pair of maroon clownfish ?
What kind of maintenance would be required other than quite obvious
regular top off of evaporated water compared to a regular fresh water
fish only tanks?

At risk of being bashed again at my ignorance, I have yet another
question. I have a fresh water tank and have a deluxe style water test
kit for it. Since I've had it for quite a while the main pamphlet of
directions is long gone. I was just wondering if the fresh water test
kits l work the with...

I had a salt water tank about 15 years ago, so this is my second time
around. I'm really having a hard time with the fish shops contradicting
everything I thought I knew. Today my husband picked up 2 smaller
plastic plants to put in the tank, but the things clearly have a wire in
them. I thought...

We have a 70 gallon tank that has been set up as a freshwater tank for the
past 6 years. A week ago yesterday we changed it over to a sal****er tank,
so we are very new at this. We have added 4 damsels to the tank 5 days ago
to help cycle it through, but our Ammonia and Nitrates are both pretty...

My daughter got a 5 gallon tank kit for the holidays. We have an
African Dwarf Frog and a small tetra in the tank. We'd like to get
another frog and perhaps 1-2 more fish. How many fish can safely live
in a 5 gallon tank? Would a ctfish be a good idea (to help keep the
tank clean)?
Thanks in...

Hi this is my first post and I must say that I am new to fish-keeping. I read
books and crawl the web before I made the commitment to go with a marine
tank. After this research I finally bought the biggest setup I could afford.
I know it's not much, but I hope to upgrade in a year if all goes well....

I need something that eats a lot of purple algae. I have a 110 gallon tank
and it grows like crazy.
Will this work? It's grows pretty thick.

Is this possible? It would seem all I would need is
something biological to drop in the tank. Some people
here have managed to turn me off of using damsels to
cycle, and live rock for a 29 gallon tank would cost
150 dollars. Too damn much for a couple of small
boulders. By the way, I found what...
